It’s Monday and that’s not always an easy thing. Me myself did not have that much trouble today, but I thought that I might as well show you my go-to products when I have a day where I look more tired than I should look. I have chosen 5 products to show you today, and they are 5 easy steps towards a more awake look. Maybe you have some of these products in your routine already, maybe not, but either way that’s what I want to go through today! Vi starter med basen og før jeg smører ansiktet mitt med dagkremen min bruker jeg Nars Skin Optimal Brightening Cencentrate. Dette er en “primer” som gjør sminken utrolig lett å påføre etterpå, og gir deg en glød og fuktighet som man ikke får uten, og den synker fort inn i huden så ikke vær redd for at det skal bli for mye produkter.

Okey, so let’s start with the base. Before I apply my moisturizer I use my Nars Skin Optimal Brightening Cencentrate. I use this as a kind of “primer” and it does so that the application of your makeup is so much easier and it makes your skin look amazing! It also sinks quite nice into the skin so it’s not sticky for very long.

I either use the Nars product or I use a oil from Beauté Pacifique, and that is an oil that you get the GLOW from! I guess I actually have to get better at using this, ’cause I have never gotten any more compliments on my skin and my glow than when I used this.

And I also want to recommend to you guys Elizabeth Ardens Eight Hour Hydrating Mist. You can use this mist whenever you want. After a workout, before or after you have done your makeup, and yeah, whenever you feel like you have to. I have written a post about this earlier, and you can find it HERE, and there you can read about why I love this mist so much. (sadly that post is not written in English, but if you use google chrome, they will change the language for you.)

And then the last two products most of you might already have in your routine. But these two products is a must for me on a day where I look too tired. And it’s my concealer and a highlighter. I swear to my beloved Mac pro longer concealer, and I have for a couple of years now. Mine is in one of the lightest shades that you could get, mainly because, yes I am that pale, and also I want to have a lighter color under my eyes so that that brightens up my eyes, which leads to you looking more awake.

I also like to use a highlighter on the days that I look more tired. Usually I don’t use much highlighter, but on the days I need something extra I use either my Mary Louminizer, or my mac highlighter. With these two you get a beautiful highlight and a glow, and that also makes you look more healthy and awake. And that is the point, right?

Me myself, I started my day at the gym, and after that I always feel so much more awake, and I also feel like I look more awake. So that’s a tip for you guys too, no makeup related! Go to the gym! But now on the other hand, I thought that I might just relax a little before I’m gonna film, make dinner and then end the night with a facemark while I watch an episode of the vampire diaries. Yes, I have started to watch that series again.. No idea why, but now I have, so I can’t quit.

I hope you have a wonderful start to the week, and what products to you go for on a day where you look a little bit more tired?
